Falls From Second Story Window of Delmonico Restaurant.
Philip H. Remillard, prominent in Oakland business, social and political circles, fell shortly after midnight this morning from the second-story window of the building occupied by the Delmonico restaurant and sustained injuries that may prove fatal. Mr. Remillard was dining with a party of friends. The room became a trifle close and he stepped to the window to secure a little fresh air. Throwing up the lower sash he stepped out on to the fire escape. It was very dark, and Mr. Remillard did not notice that in the center of the platform surrounding the end of the ladder was a large opening, which he stepped into. He fell to the ground, a distance of about thirty feet.
The ambulance was summoned and Mr. Remillard was conveyed to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that he was suffering from a fractured kneecap, a broken upper jaw and nose, lacerations of the chin, the loss of several teeth and a possible fracture of the base of the skull. Considering the fact that Mr. Remillard is a heavy man, weighing about 230 pounds, his escape from instant death was miraculous. Mr. Remillard is one of the most popular clubmen of Oakland. He is a member of the Republican Alliance, Athenian Club and the Reliance Athletic Club. He is vice president of the Remillard Brick Company, his father, P. N. Remillard being its president. He has always occupied a prominent position in the social and business circles both of Oakland and this city. Mr. Remillard Is unmarried and resides with his people at Thirteenth street, Oakland. If his condition permits he will be removed to a sanitarium to-day.

Mother and Sister at His Side.
On Saturday night Philip H. Remillard, vice president of the Remillard Brick Company, clubman and bon-vivant, acted as host at a pleasant dinner in the Delmonico restaurant. He stepped to the window, his laugh still ringing in the ears of his guests, to get a breath of fresh air. The story of his misstep and awful fall has been told. Yesterday morning he died in the Waldeck Sanatorium from his injuries, his mother and sister being by his side when he passed away. He spoke no parting word to them, for he was unconscious. The end was a shock. The injured man seemed to be in a fair way toward recovery only twenty-four hours before his death. He spoke cheerfully and did not complain of unbearable pain. During the night, however, a change for the worse set in, followed by unconsciousness.
The Coroner and a jury viewed the remains yesterday afternoon, and the inquest will be held on Thursday morning, commencing at 10 o'clock. Dr. L. D. Bacipaluci performed an autopsy and found Remillard's death to be due to the fracture of the base of the skull and to internal injuries.
The body was taken to Oakland last night, but no definite arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. Remillard was unmarried. He was a popular clubman, well read, traveled and a social favorite. His death will leave a blank not easily filled.
